Corsair RM650x (2018 model) 8pin cpu connector

[Tiat]

Hi

I need a hand here with a build

I am considering an upgrade to a B560 or B560M motherboard along with an I5 11400f cpu.

But my "old" Corsair RM650x (2018 model)  PSU only comes with 1 8pin CPU connector for the motherboard.

Can I add 8pin cable to my PSU, or perhaps it is enough with my 8pin?
Or will I need a new PSU entirely? - which would be a shame this Corsair RM650x is hardly used and runs perfectly.

Thanks everyone for help and tips!

you only need one 8 pin. in fact, all current CPUs even the post power hungry only require one 8 pin, unless playing with liquid nitrogen overclocks and instane amounts of power requirements.

the 8 pin provides in excess of 300W. the 11400F pulls 65W tops.

I take it that 65w is with power limit on motherboard.

But that sounds kinda nice, I might opt for a B560 non M version then.

Thanks alot 🙂

yes with power limit.

if you unlock you may double it probably? still a lot of margin 🙂
